TV in Review By WILLIAM EWALD NEW YORK (UPI)—One reason why I've always been in the corner of CBS-TV's Playhouse 90 is that even when it flops, it tries. But Thursday night Playhouse 90 deserted to the enemy—it ground out 90 minutes of pure hoke, a contrived corncake very much akin to all those dreary sloperas on daytime TV. "Diary of a Nurse" by Arthur Hailey was an incredible play for Playhouse 90 to even consider. A hospital piece, it was stuffed bellyfull with every imaginable hackneyed device of the Dr. Kildare school of drama. There were platoons of nurses, heavily made up and improbably attractive. There were squads of doctors, all of them looking and speaking and posturing like actors who had been dipped briefly in Gardol for the evening. It would not have surprised me at all if any of the medical personnel had stepped forward at any point and delivered a commercial for liver bile. The stuff of the play was "Grand Hotel" garbage of the most obvious sort, conceived on a butcher block and driven home with meatax subtlety. Its gallery included: the little girl dying of leukemia with whom all the nurses were in love, the nutty old lady with a broken hip, the male patient trying to date the nurses, the comic relief lady patient with varicose veins and finally, the lawyer who had half his face cut. Committee Okays Beer Tax Boost By JAMES C. ANDERSON United Press International SACRAMENTO (UPI) — An Assembly committee has approved the governor's bills to increase taxes on beer, banks and corporations despite strong opposition from some of the most influential lobbyists in the Capitol. Gov. Edmund G. Brown's twin measures squeaked by the Revenue and Taxation Committee Thursday by a 9-8 margin. Lined up in solid opposition to the beer bill were some organizations which usually are on opposite sides of the fence such as the California Manufacturers Association and the AFL-CIO. In addition to protests from management and labor, the bills by Assemblyman Thomas J. MacBride (D-Sacramento) were the target of opposition from two lobbyists for the brewing industry, the Associated Farmers and the state Chamber of Commerce. Supporters Identified The beer tax bill was supported by Robert T. McKay of the California Teachers Association while the bank-corporation measure was endorsed by Edwards J. Landels, representing the California Bankers Association (CBA). "The CBA is not opposed to higher bank and corporation taxes as long as it is part of a broadly-based tax program." Landels said. "It is our feeling that the budget has to be balanced if we are going to preserve the state's credit." Brown is seeking from the Legis lore 256 million dollars in new loans. Harriman Asks For Rewrite of Aid Program WASHINGTON (UPI)—Former New York Gov. Averell Harriman urged Congress today to write President Eisenhower $3,900,000,000 foreign aid program by providing twice as much money for overseas development loans. Harriman, who once directed the foreign aid program, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee the President's request "does not measure up to the critical situation we face in the world today." In his prepared statement, Harriman asked the committee approve instead the plan proposed by its chairman. This work put $1,500,000,000 a year into...

SEW-VAC MARKET 1217½ S. Los Angeles St. Anaheim—Call PR 4-8200 Low, Beer Tax MacBride pointed out that no state had a lower beer tax than California and that it had not been increased since it was enacted in 1933. The bank and corporation increase would be from 4 per cent to 5½ per cent on the basic tax rate with an increase in the minimum tax from $25 to $100. It would net $58,600,000 in new revenue for a full fiscal year. Lobbyists for the brewing industry testified that if the tax bill was enacted, the increase would be passed on to beer drinkers. "This is a consumer tax, make no mistake about it," said Daniel J. Credon, representing the malt beverage industry. C.J. Haggerty of the AFL-CIO labeled beer "a workingman's drink," and said his labor union was against any and all additional consumer taxes. "And this is just one more easy way of collecting a tax from the same old target—the consumer," he said.

Fred H. Wendelken of Houston Tex., told the investigation Thursday that a conversation he had with Kennedy last summer was one "crime" he was charged with at a recent union "trial." The verdict has not been announced.

Results of High Court Segregation Decisions WASHINGTON (UPI) — The five cases in which the U.S. Supreme Court made its historic school desegregation decision of May 17, 1954, were from: CLARENDON COUNTY, S.C. — On behalf of Negro pupils in rural Scott's Branch. No Negroes have been admitted to any white schools in South Carolina. PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY, Va. — On behalf of Negro pupils at Moton High School, Farmville, No Negroes have been admitted to white schools in Prince Edward County. TOPEKA, Kans. — On behalf of elementary school students. Integration carried out. NEW CASTLE COUNTY, Del. — Case involved Howard High School in Wilmington, Del., and elementary school in Hockessin. Del. Integration occurred immediately. DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA — Case originated in the rejection of Negro pupils applying for admission at Sousa Junior High School. Integration has been in effect in the District of Columbia since the fall of 1954. Desegregation Ruling Comes Full Circle FARMVILLE, Va. (UPI) — One of the five cases involved in the U.S. Supreme Court's desegregation decision of 1954 was filed by a group of Negro parents and children from Prince Edward County, Va. But today, five years later, the county's schools remain segregated. Last summer, a Federal judge granted a seven-year delay in carrying out the Court ruling.

The chief remaining event was a round table discussion seeking an agreement among the participating scientists on the size of nuclear tests that could be continued without seriously endangering world health. However, the evidence already has demonstrated that the scientists are in wide disagreement as to the extent of damage to health that must be expected from fallout, if current Geeva negotiations Actor Guy Mitchell Acquitted of Battery VAN NUYS, Calif. (UPI)—Actor Guy Mitchell was acquitted Wednesday of misdemeanor charges of battery and disturbing the peace arising out of his ground-rolling tussle with a lumberyard man. Actor Jose Ferrer and western star Tim Durant, who helped quell the fracas March 18, testified at the nonjury trial that they did not know who struck the first blow between Mitchell, 35, and Abraham Berman, 50. Municipal Judge George B. Ross said he found Mitchell innocent because, although it was undermined who started the brawl fail to ban atomic tests. The divergence was highlighted late Thursday when Dr. Jack Shubert of Argonne National Laboratory testified that the "maximum permissible" for fallout radiation should be halved to avoid "significant" increase in cancer among children. Maximums At New Low Only a few minutes before, Dr. Gloacchino Flalla of Columbia University had testified that the radiation maximums have "essentially reached rock bottom." In fact, Flalla testified, the maximums are now so low that the effects if any will probably never be statistically observable. The Joint Subcommittee on Radiation, conducting the inquiry, was later treated to an unusual spectacle when an unidentified member of the audience stepped up to dispute a scientist, and was told his "point was well taken." Dr. K. Z. Morgan, a member of the National Committee on Radiation Protection, had just gone through complicated mathematics on a blackboard to prove that the radioactivity in certain samples of bread purchased in New York was only two-thirds of the "maximum permissible," instead of four or five times the maximum as published. Excluded Other Food The member of the audience stated that Dr. Morgan had reached his conclusion by assuming there would be no radioactivity in any other foods except bread. The audience volunteer said last Friday, Hewlett received a call from the bank just before he and his wife were leave to go to a movie. The call from the bank informed that discrepancies had been found in the bank's books. Hewlett was asked to go to the bank next day, Saturday, and he needed. Hewlett and his wife went to the movie but halfway through the film, Hewlett slipped out of the theater, into a nearby alley and put bullet through his heart with a caliber automatic. He left a note of apology to his wife. The part of the note federal grants studied with interest read: "No one else is involved in this terrible mess or even has the greatest knowledge of it, but John Hendrickson. We have not any of this ourselves. It has Hendrickson denied any part in embezzlement, admitting only that he had become friends with Hewlett in 1954 when as a plumb-he had a commercial account the bank." Municipal Judge George B. Ross said he found Mitchell innocent because, although it was undermined who started the brawl, Berman's aggressive attitude towards Mitchell over a small debt justified the singer's actions. Errol Flynn Treated For Arthritis in Knee MIAMI (UPI) — The usually swashbuckling Errol Flynn was treated at a local hospital Thursday night for arthritis in the right knee. Hospital officials said the movie actor remained in the hospital only long enough for a doctor to take care of his knee and then left. Excluded Other Food The member of the audience stated that Dr. Morgan had reached his conclusion by assuming there would be no radioactivity in any other foods except bread. The audience volunteer said this assumption was not justified by the evidence before the subcommittee, which has given dairy products as the chief source of strontium-90 found in the bread. The questioning did not proceed far enough to determine whether the blackboard presentation or the published report should be considered the most accurate. Dr. Austin Brues of Argonne National Laboratory contended that high levels of radioactivity in certain samples of bread were of no significance. He said a person would have to eat this bread for a lifetime to get an overdose of radioactivity. SAVE With The Men You Know Under the skillful guidance of Mr. F. A.
